The 2024 Wawa 250 Powered by Coca-Cola was the 22nd stock car race of the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the 23rd iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, August 23, 2024, at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, a 2.5 miles (4.0 km) permanent quad-oval shaped superspeedway. The race was originally scheduled to be contested over 100 laps, but was extended to 102 laps due to an overtime finish. Ryan Truex, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, would stay consistent throughout the race, leading 28 laps and winning after leading when A. J. Allmendinger spun on the final lap, bringing out the caution. This was Truex's third career NASCAR Xfinity Series win, and his second of the season.[8] Allmendinger led a race-high 35 laps before getting spun by Parker Kligerman on the final lap, officially credited with a 24th place finish.[9][10] Justin Allgaier won both stages and led 16 laps, finishing 7th and taking the regular season points lead away from Cole Custer. To fill out the podium, Chandler Smith, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, and Parker Kligerman, driving for Big Machine Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
